Germany
The majority of active employees in Germany participate in the cash balance plan BAP (Beitragsorientierter Alterversorgungs Plan), formerly
known as Beitragsorientierte Siemens Alterversorgung (“BSAV”). Individual benets are generally dependent on eligible compensation levels,
ranking within the Group and years of service. This plan is a partly funded dened benet pension plan, the benets of which are subject to a
minimum return guaranteed by the Group. The funding vehicle for the BAP plan is the NSN Pension Trust e.V. The Trust is legally separate from
the Group and manages the plan assets in accordance with the respective trust agreements with the Group. The risks specic to the German
dened benet plans are related to changes in mortality of covered members and investment return of the plan assets. Curtailments were
recognized in service costs for the German pension plans during 2013 as a result of a reduction in the workforce in 2013 and the planned
reduction in 2014.
United Kingdom
The Group has a United Kingdom dened benet plan divided into two sections: the money purchase section and the nal salary section, both
being closed to future contributions and accruals as of April 30, 2012. Individual benets are generally dependent on eligible compensation
levels and years of service for the dened benet section of the plan and on individual investment choices for the dened contribution section
of the plan. The funding vehicle for the pension plan is the NSN Pension Plan that is run on a trust basis.
India
Government-mandated gratuity and provident plans provide benets based on years of service and projected salary levels at the date of
separation for the Gratuity Plan and through an interest rate guarantee on existing investments in a Government-prescribed Provident Fund
Trust. Gratuity Fund plan assets are invested and managed through an insurance policy. Provident Fund Assets are managed by NSN PF Trustees
through a pattern prescribed by the Government in various xed income securities.
Switzerland
The Group’s Swiss pension plans are governed by the Swiss Federal Law on Occupational Retirements, Survivors’ and Disability Pension plans
(“BVG”), which stipulates that pension plans are to be managed by an independent, legally autonomous unit. In Switzerland, individual benets
are provided through the collective foundation Profond. The plan’s benets are based on age, years of service, salary and an individual old age
account. The funding vehicle for the pension scheme is the Profond Vorsorgeeinrichtung. In 2013, the collective foundation Profond decided to
decrease conversion rates (pension received as a percentage of retirement savings) in ve years gradually from 7.2% to 6.8%, which will reduce
the expected benets at retirement for all employees. This event qualied as a plan amendment and the past service gain of EUR 1 million
arising from this amendment was recognized immediately in the service cost in 2013.
